Seip Mound State Memorial: nonmortuary aspects of Hopewell
hopewell archaeology : the chillicothe conference • Kent, Ohio • Published In 1979 • Pages: 16-18
By: Baby, Raymond S., Langlois, Suzanne M..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Baby and Langlois describe several 'house' floors they have found at Seip Mound. These floors lack hearths, fire pits, or much in the way of food remains and were not charnel houses. They do contain storage pits and contain remains of large numbers of such things as bladelets, mica, or worked fresh-water shells. It is suggested these 'houses' were the sites of specialized workshops that were associated with the 'ceremonial aspects of the culture' (page 17).
